Sarah Palin is urging each state bordering Mexico to follow Arizona’s lead in passing tough new immigration enforcement laws.

“Every other state on the border should emulate what Arizona has done. Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, has taken it upon herself and the state government to do what the feds should have been doing all along,” Palin said during an interview Wednesday night with Fox Business Network.

“Yes, other states should do what Arizona is doing,” she said.

The law grants Arizona police officers the ability to ask for documentation proving the citizenship of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally.

On Saturday, Palin stumped for Brewer in Phoenix, declaring, “We’re all Arizonans now.”

Palin also took exception to the way President Barack Obama has framed the Arizona law, saying he has chosen to “twist” the law.

Obama joked during the White House Correspondents' Dinner that if someone is caught without their papers in Arizona, it’s “adios amigos.”

During a town hall event in Iowa, the president added that “if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona, your great-grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state, but now suddenly if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to be harassed. That’s something that could potentially happen; that’s not the right way to go.”

Though the former Alaska governor was not totally clear on what aspect of the president’s characterization of the law she thinks is untrue, she said on Wednesday that Obama’s statements are “pretty pathetic.”

“He’s choosing to twist it to divide this country, which is not fair to legal immigrants and certainly not fair to illegal immigrants, either,” she said. “A lot of people are going to listen to what the president has said and say, ‘Really? Is he telling us about border security and immigration reform?’”

Classic Palin-bimbo speak: I haven't actually read about it, or even know very much about it, but I do know that if President Obama said it, it has to be pathetic.

At some point Palin will cross over to the Paris Hilton side of things: you watch just so you can shake your head and sigh.

NO! You are dividin this country with your lack of being able to understand nuance, and your constant need to make those who disagree with you into the "evildoers." You quit your job as governor in order to go around the country and criticize those who have taken up leadership positions during this trying time. But please keep pushing yourself out there, because you have terrible approval ratings and the middle/independents will never vote for you.

Because rags like Politico give her all the attention and free publicity she craves? And face it, the editors at Politico know that people have a morbid fascination with her, and that 'articles' like this are likely to bring in revenue. It's all about shilling a freak show here at Politico, journalistic integrity has nothing to do with it.

You're kidding, right? Sarah has to explain to you liberal morons "what aspect of the president’s characterization of the law she thinks is untrue"??? Give me a freakin' break. If you don't know that, you clearly haven't read the law.

But who could expect you Palin haters to actually read? With every mention of Sarah Palin you twist your panities into a wedgie, hyperventilate, and go off on an incoherent rant, calling her "stoopid". I guess it could be amusing, but mostly it's just pathetic.

Two whole paragraphs, and not one discussion point or counterargument. And you call out another user for an "incoherent rant"? That's so ironic it made me laugh! LOLzz.

Hopefully we in Arizona are helping the nation decide that there is a difference in immigration. Its one of two things legal or illegal. We need to decide if we are a nation governed by laws or by opportunists.

The following is an example of what this liberal Einstein calls a "discussion point or counterargument". You just cannot parody this kind of irony. Or stupidity.

ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. why must you be so difficult. really. we want to move pass the this whole race thing. its old and there is more important thing to deal with. stop separating yourself and join the rest of us.

Please Sarah, please run for president in 2012, I need a good laugh. Can't wait for that first actual, real, news conference where she actually has to answer questions with a reasonable and actual answer, that should be a real hoot!
